Review The Rock - Hermanus

Probably the best waiter we have ever had the honor of serving us. Local English chap that knows his food and area very well. Their food is a little on the budget side and may come across as too little or dry (rice), but the preparation of the fish and squid was flawless! Grilled to absolute perfection. Well done!! Definitely a must if you want a nice venue for a quieter meal with an amazing view of the harbor and sometimes you can see the whales spray not too far a way.

The food,the music,the seating ,the vibe and the service is absolutely stunning. Everything was delicious and perfectly done. Best creme Brulee and orange cake.. Thank you so much to Carla and Zoe for the warmest friendliest service. Definitely recommend!!

We have the most delicious and amazing line fish ever. It was just right. The wine was good and pudding too, but the main was really memorable. Well done 👍

The restaurant is layered in 3 tiers overlooking the harbour. Most tables have ocean view. Great service, outstanding dishes, well prepared. Really worth visiting.

Great place✔️ Stunning View ✔️ Delicious Seafood dishes ✔️✔️ Above average prices but you get what you pay for ✔️✔️ Stopped by a coincidence but made memories for a lifetime 🤍

Had beautifully tasty and fresh sushi here. Everything tasted so so good. The service was tops! And we even got to spot a few whales. Amazing experience and will definitely be back. Our car battery even died and the owner helped jump our car, could not be anymore appreciative! Thank you so so much!

The views were spectacular out over the harbour, what a wonderful find after a day of whale watching. All of the staff were genuinely friendly and professional, they served up the most delicious food and made us feel at home. Will definitely be back.

Celebrated a milestone Birthday of my friend, Claire, her Dad and two close friends at this superb venue yesterday evening. It was well worth the drive from Bloubergstrand. We enjoyed a delicious selection of seafood on a custom platter organised by our waiter, as well the vegan curry and sushi. The crayfish and prawns were grilled to perfection. Thanks to Chris & his staff for making us feel welcome with warm and attentive customer service. 5* views, ambience, food, customer service. Thank You!

I was treated to a birthday dinner on the night that the Springboks played in the final against New Zealand! The place was vibey, but as you can imagine by 8:30 it emptied out like a ghost town! (hence my 4 * for atmosphere). They had reserved us a spectacular table with a view over the bay and were treated to a full moon rising up over the mountains! What a setting! The waiter was on form, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable - always a good start to a night out. We ordered oysters as a starter, which were delicious with a glass of Chenin blanc. Now onto the mains.... It's not often that you see a Fillet cafe de Paris on a menu, so with a little hesitation I ordered it done rare. The temperature was done correct, but as a particular dish like the one ordered I think the chef could have used a better class fillet - it was a little on the chewy side and not "melt in the mouth" like a fillet should be. The "compound" butter of this dish should be the cherry on top - a complex fermented combination of specific ingredients - this was unfortunately not so and the addition of curry into a melted and re- constituted butter made it dissapointing. But we live and learn..... For dessert we had an orange chocolate mousse, which was fair, but a little too dense. Unfortunately we were rushing a bit to get back for the rugby and did not take enough photos! Although the meal was under-whelming , I would still go back and recommend it. All else was on point and the views exceptional. I will be back to try something different next time

Perfect experience..good wine, professional service and great food. We had linefish and will reccomend it. Nicola served us and she was friendly, professional and suggested some great dishes. Ample parking available as well.
